I need to implement multiline text with ellipsis with txt to be no more than two lines. Ellipsis attributes in default TextView does not seem to work for multiline text. I could implement my own text widget, but i don't know how to break text into multiple lines. In this case I could draw text line by line and draw ellipsis on second line if necessary.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to develop a simple application to add a caption into a image, but I have a problem.
The app is simple: I click on a TextView, an AlertDialog pops-up with a EditText, I insert some text, click at "ok" and it sets that text as the textview.
Then comes my problem: I click on a save button and it saves the image with that caption on my sd card. If it's a short text, everything's fine, but on text's that have more than one line it shows everything on only one line. So, if it's a long text, instead of breaking it according to the image's width and continuing into a new line, it just keeps going off the screen.
I'm using canvas.drawText to do it, but it doesn't support line breaks so I'm pretty lost about this.
Is there another way to do this that supports line break? Or a way to break the string into a new line and then use drawText?
Is it possible to have an multiple line EditText within a table?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a couple questions on ellipsize on the TextView...
1) Is there anyway to get ellipsize to work on a multiline TextView? So that the ellipses are shown at the end of the text, rather than at the end of the line? If not what is the best way to handle this on my own?]
2) Is there any way to change the character used for eellipsize? For example, use "... [Read More]", this obviously coincides with question 1 above since one wouldn't want to take half of the single line to say read more, but on a multiline, it would be nice to be able to have like 3 or 4 lines and then a read more? Maybe there is a better way to do this that I haven't figured out yet?

The view required is something like :

Email: abcdgehfhf@mail.com
address text view has width set as wrap-content
but it appears like:

I am required to use custom fonts in my application.
Problem: For ListViews that contain rows with Multi-Line TextViews having ellipsize property set to true, I can see some illegible characters after the ellipsis. Apparently Android pads the String(in TextView) with some characters(ZERO WIDTH NO BREAK-SPACE) unknown to my custom font. Single line TextView seem to work just fine.
What is the best way to hide these characters or remove the padding?
Also, is there any variant of Helvetica font, freely available that would have ZERO WIDTH NO BREAK-SPACE character?
I need to ellipsize multiligne textview. My component is large enough to display at least 4 lines with the ellipse, but only 2 lines are displayed. I tried to change the minimum and maximum number of rows in the component but it changes nothing

I have a very basic question regarding encoded text in an XML Text node.
I am using the DOM parser javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder to parse some xml. The xml has some international characters which are encoded in decimal unicode - eg. 'ó' is 'ó'.
The parser takes the encoded character out of the word for example jóbb and the Text node is left with jbb as the node value. If I use getData() on the Text node it returns jbb also. The character is not lost though - a sibling Node, an Entity Reference Node, has the decimal value and an index. The index value corresponds to where this character should be inserted. In this case for example if would have an index of 1 and value of '#234'.
This indicates that there must be a simple way of accessing the value of the Text node of its parent in such a way as to get 'jóbb'. It seems unlikely that I need to reconstruct this by doing a lookup to convert the encoded character to utf8 and then insert it into the string for the Text node. Does anyone know how this works?
I want to add Image to Text field, at the same time i want to write text
under that image( want to describe about the image ) in the same text field. And the image
should be provided with ZOOOM_IN and ZOOM_OUT options, for the user to view.
A while ago I found an app that would text phone numbers of your choice with "X" amount of texts. You would just fill in the text box, specify how many texts, and the frequency of the texts....... and voila! Instant gratification of seeing my friends phone blow up because he couldn't delete them as quickly as they were coming in.
I would prefer to find the original free version, but paid version is fine too. As long as you can personalize the text field, and set the number of texts, I'd be happy. The one I had you could set an almost unlimited number of texts, so I'd usually do them 75 texts at a time. As long as it'll let you do more than 50, it would be perfect.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThere is obviously a mechanism for selecting, cutting, pasting, and generally editing text in text fields. Little pointer widgets appear under text from time to time. In general, I can't figure out how to use them. Furthermore, on a Kindle screen (which is bigger than a smartphone screen) I can't touch or drag them accurately--they're too small, the drags required are too small, and there isn't any automatic magnifier like there is on my iPod Touch.
What I find particularly frustrating is that I can't find an easy way to move the insertion point back and forth one character at a time, the way I would with cursor keys, and I can't find any easy way to delete the character just ahead of the cursor.
Is there some kind of how-to guide that spells out just how to do text editing within text fields on a touchscreen Android device?
